DiabloMiner GPU Miner

[DiabloD3]

pmw, tryptamine, make sure both of you aren't using Catalyst 11.1. It doesn't work right. Also make sure you're using SDK 2.1. Also, for some users you absolutely need to use -w 64, the hw default (256 on ATI) doesn't like Art's kernel.

[pmw]

Diablo, I had Catalyst 11.1 installed. I did a complete uninstall and installed Catalyst 10.12. There is no change to the miner's behavior. The speed remains the same, and it continues to crash within minutes when using the default worksize of 256.

When I override worksize to 64, the speed drops from 13200 khash/sec to 4700 khash/sec, and it still crashes.

Somethings very wrong with your box. If you figure out what, tell me.

I guess we'll never know, but FYI, m0mchil's GPU miner works like a charm for me with its default settings. I am getting 155 Mhash/sec with default settings, and 177 Mhash/sec with some tuning -- without any crashing. There must be some flaw with your implementation. If you figure out what, tell me.

Nope, no flaw. But my miner drives hardware and drivers harder than m0's, so its probably tripping a bug in the driver somewhere. You're not the first person to see that happen, but it should be rare. Going the whole way back to 10.11 has solved it for the people who saw this.

Just read thru this thread and am still a little confuse on versions required.

1. What version of stream is required? 2.1 only?  
2. Does stream need to be V2.1 for linux too?
3. 10.11 catalyst driver needed for windows?
4. What ati drivers are needed for linux?

Im finding it hard to find a clear walkthru or setup options for this miner... can anyone help?

Thanks!

racerx: I've put together a fairly complete guide for getting Diablo up and running on Ubuntu.

Update: I updated to LWJGL 2.7.1 yesterday, but some people were experiencing problems, so I rolled it back to 2.6

2.1 runs fastest and doesnt have the CPU use bug. You only need 2.3 on 6xxx hardware. Yes, you need it on Linux too. 10.11 runs best on Linux and Windows.

Any instructions that require using AMD's packaged version of the drivers are wrong and should never be followed. Please only use distro packaged drivers for fglrx.

Update: Merged proxy patch

[adv]

Diablo, may you change cli parameters so that they correctly handle the standard URL pattern?
Like this:

Code:

foo://username:password@example.com:8042/over/there/index.dtb?type=animal;name=narwhal#nose

As described http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator (links to RFC in bottom of page).

I want use your miner with smth like

Code:

....DiabloMiner --host home.agalakov.spb.ru:80/btc/btc-jrproxy.cgi --user a --pass a -w 64 -f 6

, but this don't work. :^(

UPD:
Better example:

Code:

....DiabloMiner --host http://a:a@home.agalakov.spb.ru:80/btc/btc-jrproxy.cgi -w 64 -f 6

I'm having a few problems with my newly setup box, with a used spare 5850 and a 5970, it keeps throwing error messages at me telling me that the card has found an invalid block and that it might be a faulty driver or hardware, neither of which is really calming, but the hardware failure is what I dread the most.
I used a freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10, Sun Java6, ATI Stream SDK from http://orwell.fiit.stuba.sk/~nou/ati-opencl-runtime_2.1_i386.deb and http://orwell.fiit.stuba.sk/~nou/ati-opencl-dev_2.1.deb and the ATI Driver from https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run .

Any idea on where to start with this one?

[Cdecker]

Investigating a little further: it's only the second core on the 5970 which gives me problems (Invalid block found on Cypress (#2), possible driver or hardware issue) it does however produce correct blocks too, so I'm getting nowhere with that one. The 5850 isn't detected by Diablo, although it does show up in aticonfig.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately you will need to start your second instance of Diablo in a terminal on a second monitor (plugged into the second card) in order to get it to run on the other GPU.

Why is that? Working fine for me.

I don't quite get it, how's that supposed to change anything? Could setting the DISPLAY variable be a workaround? After all I'm able to start the miner via an SSH connection which has nothing to do with the Displays at all...

Also for the second core of the 5970, I think crossfire is still turned on but I can't figure out why and how to turn it off (CPU is being bombed also, which I guess is Crossfire too).

[humble]

Hmm... all I know is that I did my first dual GPU setup yesterday (2x5870). Crossfire didn't make any difference so I took the cables off and separated the cards for better airflow. The Diablo Java implementation seems to require it to run in a terminal in the x-server that the card is supplying. The only way I could get a second instance to start running is to do it from a terminal in a monitor hooked up to the second card. I actually ended up installing m0mchil's miner and running that on the second GPU since you can specify which processor to use with it. Perhaps Diablominer can do this as well but I couldn't find it.

Were you trying to start it from within the main folder? I don't think you can start it from outside it.

You downloaded it from git and forgot to build it. Run mvn package.
